KS-flint hills NWR - agriculture utility tractor

This is a 100% Total Small Business set-aside, firm-fixed price contract. Amendment 002, posted June 10, 2026, reinstated the small business set-aside after Amendment 001 had temporarily dissolved it; the current solicitation reflects the reinstated set-aside status.

The tractor must meet salient characteristics including a minimum 125 horsepower diesel engine with 97 PTO horsepower, EPA Final Tier 4 compliant turbocharged emissions, minimum 16 forward/16 reverse transmission with clutchless power shifting, 80 L/Min hydraulic pump with minimum three mechanical SCVs, 540/1000 RPM rear PTO with electro-hydraulic operation and 40% torque rise, 4WD unsuspended front axle with adjustable steel wheels, hydrostatic steering with dynamic load sensing, 12,023-pound rear hitch lift capacity, minimum 46.2-gallon fuel capacity, 13,779-pound base weight, and connected support technology enabling remote monitoring of alerts, engine hours, fuel levels, and machine location. A 2-year/2000-hour factory base warranty with extended warranty purchase options is required.

Period of performance runs June 24, 2026 to September 30, 2026. The government will trade in a 2014 John Deere 6125R (Serial # 1L06125RAEH803799) in fair overall condition, to be picked up within one month of delivery. Offerors must submit quotes itemizing equipment year/make/model, delivery costs, lead time, trade-in allowance value, and final total price, along with operator and maintenance manuals, warranty terms, parts lists, technical specifications, manufacturer contact information, and safety certifications. Evaluation uses Best Value Trade-off methodology considering technical acceptability, competitive pricing, competitive delivery schedule, trade-in value, and positive past performance verified through CPARS/CRA and reference checks. Technical acceptability and past performance are significantly more important than price for establishing acceptability; price becomes the determining factor once acceptability is established. NAICS code is 333111 with a 1,250-employee size standard. Contact: Khalilah Brown, Contract Specialist, 703-468-8291; khalilah_brown@fws.gov.
